Buckner, Bette and the baby are
off for the Constitutional Centennial,
and here's looking toward Gov. Jim
Bryan, the youngest and handsomest
man that ever sat where he will sill
for the next ten days. The Frankfort
Constitutional is almost as old as
the Philadelphia fabric-makes a
citizen ineligible to the Governorship
until he shall have reached the age
of thirty-fve years. Only last June
our Jeems-a poor Irish boy, edu-
Gated as a beneficiary of charity
fund-reached the requisite age, and
ID! he is to-day acting Governor OF
the grand old Commonwealth, and a
better-looking man than Grover
Cleveland.-Louisville Times.

Circular Tnstructing Assessors.

FRANKFoRT, September 6, 49,
Assessors are most respectfully and
earnestly urged to careful study of
the law, and more painstdking and
erdct compliance icith the ld,c. Their
duty is plainly aud forcibly set forth,
and the performance thereof is exact
ed under severe penalties; yet, in
many Instances, it seems scarcely
possible that the officer could have
taken the pains to inform himself as
to his duty.
The law requires all property to he
assessed at its full cash value. This
is the standard fixed by the law, and
the Assessor violates his oath when
he adopts any other standard. II
all property were SO assessed through
out the State, the rate of taxation
could be so reduced as TO render the
poor mans tax merely nominal. But
the Assessor often assesses the prop
erty of the small farmer and the me-
ehanic-men whose property is all in
sight-at something near its market
value, whilst the large property hold
er escapes with a sixty per cent. val
uatiou upon the property reported,
and but little or no effort is made to
reach the full amount of his stocks
and bonds and other personally.
The first great duty of the Assessor is
to assess all alike-to apply his stan
dard, whatever it may be, to all alike
to make has assessment entirely uni-
form.
He is required TO see each tax-pay-
er in person and take his list on the
printed schedule. The taxpayer
must sign it and be SwO'n 10 ii Ju the
Assessor; IL is not sufficient that he
merely sign ii. An Assessor is liable
to a penalty of $500 for failing to do
this.
Much confusion was caused last
year in several counties by the AS
SCISSOR overlooking the fact that sag
ricultural Products" of the current
year are not taxable under the law;
and then again by not deducting
the $50 exemption of cattle allowed by
law. The Assessor should take down
the WhOle number of fcattle, butin fix
ing the valuation, he should deduct
500 for the exemption.
The law does not allow any indebt-
edness to be deducted from any prop
erty, whatever, except such as may
be reported under Column No. Y,
and an Assessor allowing any such
deduction subjects himself to severe
penalty.
The necessary schedules and
blanks were sent you by the public
printer a month ago. 1t is hoped
that you will have everything well
in hand to begin promptly ON the
10Th of September.
Whenever there may be any doubt
as to the law, or when any instruction
is wanted, Assessors will please have
no hesitation in writing to this office
in regard TO the matter. Prompt at
tention will be given the communica-
ton.

Auditor.

Evansville's Reunion.

The Reunion announced by Farra-
gut Post, G. A. f., for Sept. 20th to
23d, TO which all Soldiers of the war,
the Gray as well as the Blue, are corr
daily invited TO attend, is a new de-
parture in Soldiers Reunions, argu-
ing well for the permanency of peace
and the perpetuity of the union. Ev-
cry patriotic heart will swell with
gratitude to the brave men of Farra-
gut Post, 6. A. r., who have proven
their right to be called braye by this
illustration of noble manhood. The
whole country has been attracted by
it, and the foremost Statesmen and
Soldiers of the day, regardless of the
cause epoused in the war, have pub
licly approved it. The people Of
Evansville are working together as
one man for its success, and are max
ing preparations for the comfortable
entertainments of $4,000 visitors. There
are to be competitive drills between
% crack companies from all parts of
the country, to be decided by de-
tail of officers from the Regular Ar
my, who have already been assigned.
A sham Battle is to conclude the
Military part of the entertainment.
One great feature of the Reunion,
however, will be the Industrial Pa
rlde on the 22d, which will be the
largest demonstration of the kind
ever witnessed in the West.
1t will be remembered that on the
occasion of our unveiling in May
Evansville sent a handsome floral Of
fering and large delegation of her
city officials and citizens to add TO its
success. IIopkinsville now has ar
opportunity to return the compli-
ment and show her appreciation by
sending over big delegation next
week.

was dropped into the well. A few
days ago this well was cleaned out,
having been crumbling in for years.
Under about six feet of mud in the

to be as good and sweet as ON the day
IL was hung in the well. This is

The State Indusirial and Co

The State Industrial and CONNER
mercial Conference which is 10 be
held in Louisville on October 4th is
one of the most important undertak-
ings that Kentucky has projected for
many years. At this time when cap
ital is flocking into the South and
fortunes are being rapidly made, the
value of thoroughly advertising
Kentucky's resources and advantages
cannot be over-estimated. The Exec
utive Committee, of which Ex-Gov.
Knott is chairman, is making prepa-
tions TO have all the industries of the
State thoroughly discussed, the
growth of agriculture, commerce and
manufactures noted, the wonderful
railroad development slgnalized, aud
will send broadcast such an adver.
tisement of Kentucky as will attract
universal attention. The work OF
the Committee of Louisville has al.
ready caused rush of capital to
Southeastern Kentucky, where mum
bers of land companies have located
to build and develop railroads and
towns. With concerted action the
whole state can be made to progress
rlpid'y and every section can attract
capital and new industries. Ken
tucky is the most richly lowered
State in the Union and her advRn-
tages should be thoroughly made
known. The members of the Auxi-
liary Committees of all the counties
should SEQ that delegates are sent to
the Convention with full reports of
county resources and growth, SO that
every county will reap value from
the meeting.

The gun was undergoing finishing

inside when he started the machinery
which TUNED the boring tool. For some
unexplained reason. probably because
the tool employed was too large for the
bore OF the gun it broke of short and is
firmly wedged In. Every effort to re-
move it without spelling the gun has
thus far proved useless and 1t is feared

spoiled. This gun was one OF the hand
soonest pieces of machinery ever turned

are that II will be absolutely worthless
except Tor its weight in old steet.
